The actress, 39, has apparently learned a few things from her previous relationships, including her five-year marriage to Brad Pitt, and is now taking things with new beau, John Mayer, very slowly. A close friend of the actress told OK!: "This is a whole new Jen. "She's trying new things, taking a risk, and is game for getting out of her shell, living her life and trying to be happy." The couple were pictured getting cozy in Miami last weekend and were even spotted lip-to-lip at the Marley & Me wrap party.

Jennifer is apparently calling all the shots

John's friend told us Jennifer's moving slowly: "She doesn't rush off and go on vacation with John, and she's made it clear she will not be a groupie at his shows. "He was smitten with Jen and came to visit her on set. "They're actually working around her schedule more than anything!" The actress is said to be cautious of turning into a summer fling and is avoiding a heartbreak by calling the shots.

Friends say John is used to being in control

John's friend added: "Jessica Simpson texted John all the time, but Jen waits a few days to text him back. "She hasn't stopped her life for him. "She's fun and flirty, but hasn't outright said, 'I want you,' which is something John isn't used to."* WATCH ALL THE LATEST GOSSIP WITH OK! TV, NOW! *
